Watercolor Mermaid

Hi All!  This is the second card I made today to play along with a couple of challenges:

Week #209


The card started with a Mermaid stamp from the clearance bin...I guess summer IS almost over! 


I stamped her onto some Strathmore watercolor paper that I had used to make the card base using Distress Inks (Mermaid Lagoon (of course) and Twisted Citron).  Using an aqua brush, I watercolored her hair, the teeny seahorse, and her 'tail.'  I added Perfect Pearls to the ink for lots of shimmer but the pic just doesn't show that :(.  There should be a shimmer button on cameras, I think.  The sentiment is from Catherine Pooler's Stamp of Approval Lovely Notes Collection, stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black.  I did add a few aqua sequins for "bubbles."  Thanks so much for stopping by ~ I hope you're having a great week!

  5. ITA with your suggestion of a shimmer button on cameras. That would be sooooo useful! Your card, even without the shimmer showing, is delightful! Thanks so much for sharing it at OLS!
